Learning Objectives
1.Differentiate ideal self and

actual self;
2. Define self-concept and
knowing oneself; and
3. Identify the characteristics,

habits and experiences that
accept themselves who they are
as an adolescence.
Self-Concept
• is the way people think about themselves.

As a global understanding of oneself, self-
concept shapes and defines who we are,
the decisions we make, and the
relationships we form.
• is our individual perceptions of our
behavior, abilities, and unique
characteristics—a mental picture of who
you are as a person.

Self-Concept

2. can be positive or negative;
3. has emotional, intellectual, and functional
dimension.
4.changes with the environmental context;
5. changes over time; and
6. has a powerful influence on one’s life
Self- Image
• or how you see yourself.
Each individual’s self-image
is a mixture of different
attributes including our
physical characteristics,
personality traits, and social
roles. Self-image doesn't
necessarily coincide with
reality.
Self- Esteem
• A number of factors can
impact self-esteem,
including how we compare
ourselves to others and
how others respond to us.
When people respond
positively to our behavior,
we are more likely to
develop positive self-
esteem. When we compare
ourselves to others and find
Ideal self
• It is an idealized image that

we have developed over
time, based on what we
have learned and
experience.
• In many cases, the way we
see ourselves and how we
would like to see ourselves
do not quite match up.
If there is a mismatch between how you
see yourself (your self-image) and what
you’d like to be (your ideal self) then this is
likely to affect how much you value
yourself (self-esteem). Therefore, there is
an intimate relationship between self-
image, ideal self and self-esteem
According to Carl Rogers, the degree to
which a person's self-concept matches up
to reality is known as congruence and
incongruence.
• A person’s ideal self may not be
consistent with what actually happens in
the life and experiences of the person.
Hence, a difference may exist between a
person’s ideal self and actual
experience. This is called incongruence.
• Where a person’s ideal self and
actual experience are consistent or
very similar, a state of congruence
exists. The development of
congruence is dependent on
unconditional positive regard.
Rogers believed that for a person to
achieve selfactualization they must
be in a state of congruence.
Why is self-concept important?
Knowing who you are will help you feel that you
have worth and value in this world. When you
can accept yourself for who you are, it will be
easier for others to accept you, too. Learning
about yourself can help you develop lasting
relationships with others as well as help you
make choices that will direct your life in the
path you want to go.
“Knowing oneself is the beginning
of wisdom”. This renowned quote is
often attributed to Socrates. But what
exactly do you benefit when you know
and understand who you are?
Meg Selig (2016) suggests
that when a person knew who
he is, he develops
understanding of himself, he
would be happier because he
can express who he is. He
develops less inner conflict,
make better decision and
better choices about everything
and understands what
motivates him.
The Benefits of Self-Concept
• Happiness
• Less inner conflict
• Better decision-making
• Self-control
• Resistance to social pressure
• Tolerance and understanding of others. Y
• Vitality and pleasure.
PERSONAL EFFECTIVENESS
Personal effectiveness - means making use
of all the personal resources – talents, skills,
energy and time, to enable you to achieve
life goals.
Your knowledge of yourself and how you
manage yourself impacts directly on your
personal effectiveness. Being self-aware,
making the most of your strengths, learning
new skills and techniques and behavioral
Our personal effectiveness depends on our innate
characteristics – talent and experience accumulated in the
process of personal development. Talents first are needed to
be identified and then developed to be used in a particular
subject area (science, literature, sports, politics, etc.).
Experience - includes knowledge and skills that we acquire in
the process of cognitive and practical activities.
Knowledge - is required for setting goals, defining an action
plan to achieve them and risk assessment.
Skills - also determine whether real actions are performed in
accordance with the plan. If the same ability is used many
times in the same situation, then it becomes a habit that runs
automatically, subconsciously.
Here are some skills that will greatly increase
the efficiency of any person who owns them:
1.Determination. It allows you to focus only on achieving a
specific goal without being distracted by less important
things or spontaneous desires. It may be developed with
the help of self-discipline exercises.
2.Self-confidence. It appears in the process of personal
development, as a result of getting aware of yourself,
your actions and their consequences. Self-confidence is
manifested in speech, appearance, dressing, gait, and
physical condition. To develop it, you need to learn
yourself and your capabilities, gain positive attitude and
believe that by performing right actions and achieving
right goals you will certainly reach success.
• Persistence. It makes you keep moving forward
regardless of emerging obstacles – problems,
laziness, bad emotional state, etc. It reduces the
costs of overcoming obstacles. It can also be
developed with the help of self-discipline
exercise.
• Managing stress. It helps combat stress that
arises in daily life from the environment and
other people. Stress arises from the uncertainty
in an unknown situation when a lack of
information creates the risk of negative
• Problem-solving skills. They help cope with the problems
encountered with a lack of experience. It increases
efficiency by adopting new ways of achieving goals when
obtaining a new experience.
• Creativity. It allows you to find extraordinary ways to carry
out a specific action that no one has tried to use. It can lead
to a decrease or an increase of costs, but usually the speed
of action is greatly increased when using creative tools. 
• Generating ideas. It helps you achieve goals using new,
original, unconventional ideas. Idea is a mental image of an
object formed by the human mind, which can be changed
before being implemented in the real world. For generating
ideas, you can use a method of mental maps, which allows
you to materialize, visualize and scrutinize all your ideas,
which in turn contributes to the emergence of new ideas.

“Knowing others is intelligence; knowing

yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is
strength; mastering yourself is true power.
If you realize that you have enough, you are
truly rich.” And “The cost of not following
your heart, is spending the rest of your life
wishing you had.”
